Loading the wine cooler
Important: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles. While the
cabinet can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from
shutting properly.
Always check that you can close the door without it touching on a wine bottle, before shutting
•
it.
When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the
•
individual bottles.
As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to
•
store may vary. The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style
wine bottles.
You can place 18 standard size bottles in your appliance
•
Storing your wines

Light bodied reds or full

Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
•
Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to
•
spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually
improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that
•
are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits.
•
A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
